Rusty coaxing one of the girls to lay in a hidden nest?

[Uppity Peon]

Rusty seems to sense when a hen is ready to lay and guards the henhouse while she is laying. But today it appeared he was trying to get her to lay her egg in a hidden nest!

He's such a gentleman and BEAUTIFUL too !! I love it when they try to get them to lay. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like he's doing his best to show his lady to a safe, secluded, private area so she can do her hen-business and not be disturbed. What a handsome little gentleman!

My rooster does that ALL the time!!

the little Biddies listen to him, too - so lately I've been egg hunting a lot.

Gonna lock them up til they re-learn where the nest box is, I guess.

He's an EE. I love the fiery saddle and hackle feathers he's getting.
